Looking for a new reader. Need input from others please

Howdy All,

I currently have a Sony PRS-T1 and although there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and I love it I am looking for a new reader. I was going to get the PRS-T3 but I cant find them in Australia anymore. (There are the Japanese ones on Ebay but I dont want one of them)

I'm Kinda leaning towards the Kobo Aura HD but I just wanted some opinions on this one before spending the $$$ on it. The reason being this is back in the day before I got the Sony I got a kobo of some kind. I dont even remember what model it was but I do remember how much I HATED it. It went back to the store in a mater of days.

The main features Im looking for is epub and pdf ( I have 500+ books in pdf from my first generic brand reader and I really dont want to convert them all), cbr and thats pretty much it I think.

Does the Aura have a "sleep" screen like the sony does and when Its powered off does it have a completely blank screen?

How does the front light rate on peoples lists? I read alot at night in bed so does it work well or is an external light still needed?

Also does it have a "recently read" option on the main page like the sony had recently added but I changed the books.db to display recently read instead.

Also can you use Calibre to add/remove books to it?


Thats all the questions I have for now. If I think of any more I will come back and ask.

Thanks in Advance guys and gals
Dill
